La Chimera, Italian movie at Rio Cinema, Limassol
The film stars Josh O’Connor as a British looter who gets involved in an international network of stolen Etruscan artifacts during the 1980s. Everyone has their own Chimera, something they try to achieve but can never find. For Arthur, the Chimera is the woman he lost, Beniamina.
Is La Chimera worth watching?- A lovely gem that requires some digging. “La Chimera” is a bittersweet addition to the magical-Italian-realism cinematic universe of director Alice Rohrwacher.
